Examples

How do make an Image and record a video of my Space?

Using PrintScreen and OBS to make the Image and Video
Using Unity Recorder to make the Image/Video

What if my recording is larger than 20MB?

You can make your Video file size using smaller by using Handbrake - a free open-source video transcoder program.

Once you download Handbrake, open your video file and select a Preset such as Fast 1080p. Selecting "Web Optimized" option may also reduce your filesize further.
